<p>This site provides open data published by <a
href="http://www.aalto.fi">Aalto University</a>. The data is expressed as
Linked Data and provided as a SPARQL endpoint, Linked Data -style browser
and machine (RDF) access to individual data items as well as downloads of
whole datasets. </p>

<p>Published datasets include data about:</p>

<ul>
<li>courses</li>
<li>publications</li>
<li>research projects</li>
<li>places, such as buildings</li>
<li>researchers and staff</li>
<li>organizational structure</li>
<li>news and events</li>
</ul>

<p>The data can be used to create visualizations and applications that
demonstrate how linked open data can be used to improve the transparency of
a university, add value to both students and staff, and to help decision
makers understand and track the workings of a distributed, knowledge-based
organization.</p>

<p><strong>We participate</strong> in the <a
href="http://www.apps4finland.fi">Apps4Finland</a> competition with an <a
href="http://apps4finland.fi/2012/10/28/idea-linkitetyt-yliopistot/">idea

<p>This site has been created within the <a
href="http://www.seco.tkk.fi/projects/loa/">Linked Open Aalto</a> project at
the <a href="http://www.seco.tkk.fi">Semantic Computing Research Group</a>.
We are collaborating with <a
href="http://linkeduniversities.org">LinkedUniversities.org</a> and try to
reuse existing Linked Data vocabularies in order to maintain
interoperability with data from other universities around the world..</p>
